Who says you can't !


There is an old mystic saying that “belief begets reality”, and although this is probably not exactly true when discussing ways in which to improve yourself, it does form the basis of a concept for ensuring you succeed in your endeavours more frequently.

For the purpose of this post, I am going to re-write this phrase a little and make it “doubt begets failure”, as this makes more sense in the context I intend it. Basically, what I am proposing is that many people fail in their personal and professional life because they doubt themselves. History has proven to us that individuals who believe in their own success 100% of the time, with no room for doubt, do indeed succeed against all odds with alarming regularity. Why is this? Simply because they were 100% sure they would succeed, they did not doubt it in any way, so if they were 100% sure of success, the prospect of failure was 0%, they could not fail to succeed. In effect they created their own reality.

Doubt has a way of creeping in, allowing people to find easy excuses for their failures, it has been argued that as little as 10% doubt will cut the percentage chance of success of a project to as low as 30%. This is due to many reasons, firstly because people dislike failure, it is an uncomfortable experience to go through, by finding one external factor that allows them to doubt their own success whilst attributing blame elsewhere, they have provided themselves with a safety net should their plans fail. So how can you minimise your doubts and maintain 100% belief of your own success? Try this few simple tips.

When considering risks to a current project or in achieving a current goal, never allow anything to become a negative. If you discover a cause that could lead to a non-success situation, solve the problem here and now, once it is solved it is no longer a reason for doubt.
Plan first, execute second, make sure your goals are defined before you start upon a course of action designed to achieve them. Unless you have clearly decided what is to be judged a successful result, you will never achieve one! Set your goal and work towards it.
If your goal or project is large, consider breaking it down into sub-goals, each of which will be a success in its own right. Each minor success will be a positive point along the path to ultimate success, instead of a barrier to your passage.
Be the judge of your own success, do not weigh your results against other people, or try to have them encourage or support you, doing so opens you up wide to their doubts. Set your own goals, and congratulate yourself on your success as you achieve them.
Ultimately it’s all a playoff, it is very difficult to maintain 100% belief in the success of a project or in achieving a certain goal, but by understanding that doubt is negative, and in many cases easily overcome, you can be assured that you are making your best effort in achieving success.

My My My ....... How Time Flies





"Procrastination is the fear of success. People procrastinate because they are afraid of the success that they know will result if they move ahead now. Because success is heavy, carries a responsibility with it, it is much easier to procrastinate and live on the 'someday I'll' philosophy." ~ Denis Waitley


Its 1.06am ,I can't believe its the 10th of may ...which means its two months and five days already since the first post went up.

This is exactly what happens when we say ...tomorrow and another tomorrow and another tomorrow .......for tomorrow never ends.

I do not want to end today without putting something up it doesn't matter what .....the most important thing is that i did some thing today. I know that with every addition it will get better.

I urge you not to delay any more ..for time waits for no one...the more time you waste the weary you get and the more reasons you have to give up and hmmmmmm..........i wont say it because you will achieve and not be like those who saw themselves at 60yrs and said ......THAT WAS MY IDEA .

Time once gone can't be brought back but we can make very good of the time ahead so much so that we don't remember the time lost.

The cure for procrastination is positive ACTION. Eliminate the barriers to positive ACTION in your life, whatever they may be, and you will unleash an unstoppable power within.

I will end this by leaving this wise saying...

"The best and safest thing is to keep a balance in your
life, acknowledge the great powers around us and in us.
If you can do that, and live that way, you are really
a wise man." - Euripides

GIVE UP NO WAY!!!!!!!!!!!

This is for everyone out there who has a big dream but just don't know what next to do.

persevere!

I read the other day about a professional athlete who, the newspaper says, is still holding out. They do not think he will sign this contract until he gets everything he wants. But, the article continued, he is in danger of holding out too long. He may not only end up without what he wants, he may also end up without a contract.

Some people hold-out on life. They hold out until they can be sure they will succeed. They hold out until there are no uncertain ties or until they can see a solution to every problem. They wait until there are no risks. They forget that holding out on life can be the biggest risk of all.

"THE SADDEST WORDS OF TONGUE OR PEN ARE THESE:

'IT MIGHT HAVE BEEN!'"

"Will it work out?"

"Can I be sure?"

"Can I wait until the risk is gone?"

These negative thoughts come like birds snapping up the seed of positive, life-renewing, growth-producing, risk-taking thoughts that are intended to inspire us to live happier, more joy-filled lives.

Determine today to stop holding out.

Sign the contract.

Take the risk.

Today I will let God's positive ideas control my thinking.---curled from Dr Robert H. Schuller .
